PBS NOVA on the Younger Dryas Impact

It seems like a lazy cheat to post YouTube videos two weeks in a row, instead of writing in-depth subject articles on the Tusk. But who has the time for that? And anyway the video below is a particularly special communication. It is special because WGBHPBS no longer stream this 2009 episode on their services — nor have they since 2011 — reportedly at the behest of Younger Dryas Impact…

Avi Loeb

Avi Loeb is no household name, but he wants to be. The chairman of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard has appeared on more than 50 podcasts since the start of the year. Given a minimum of one hour per podcast, I’d ask for a week’s pay back if I were Harvard. The guy is everywhere. That’s OK in most instances, people pimp their books all the time. His new one is…

Tusk and UnchartedX join The Randall Carlson Podcast

randallcarlson.com Free speech podcasting is an awesome thing. Before our digital overlords take podcasting from us, the Tusk is going to maximize my enjoyment as a consumer and a guest.

Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes pinned on fragmenting Taurid comet

In a nutshell, Napier’s study shows how comets are likely to fragment and lose considerable mass during encounters with the inner Solar System. The debris trail can expand to a cross section larger than Earth, increasing the odds of impacts with Earth. Also, the debris has considerable impact energy. But over time, that energy weakens, and the debris trail contracts again. ~Evan Gough, Universe…

Pro Younger Dryas Impact Papers

Happy New Year!!!

If you can’t toot your own horn on New Years, when can you? As a citizen scientist the Tusk is darn proud — and thankful to the credentialed lead authors — to close 2020 with exactly 100 co-author citations. More interesting than my navel, perhaps, is the trend in citations concerning the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis in general since 2007. I probably represent a fair proxy for…
